I understand that many of the biblical sites close early in November. What time do they close?

Do you include lunch?

-- ALL of the ancient city of Ephesus (upper and lower)
-- Cave of St. Paul
-- St John Basilica
-- Ephesus Archaeological Museum
-- Temple of Artemis

In addition to entrance fees, do we ALSO have to pay for parking?

Please note: I have no interest in the following:
-- Rug Factory
-- Shopping for ANYTHING
-- House of the Virgin Mary

2. What would be the cost per group or per person?
3. Are admissions costs included?
